·Lyle Rapacki Of The Sentinel Intelligence Services filled in for Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu tonight at the Anthem Team Party.

·LD13 Chairman Robert Branch:I want to thank those of you like: Frosty Taylor, Joe Marvin, Wally Campbell, and Karen Brogdon who went out and got Write-in PCs signed up. Your three-day effort paid off with a 36% increase in PCs. LD13 does not have a single contested precinct so that will mean that all PC candidates (those that got their signatures, and those that are Write-ins) should be approved by the County Board of Supervisors. Again, thank you for your awesome last minute effort and may God bless.

·Lyle Rapacki - Sentinel Intelligence Services: Thank you Sheriff Paul Babeu and Pinal County Sheriff’s Office for the terribly difficult and dangerous work arresting eight Drug Cartel Scouts working well into the United States of America. Sheriff Babeu has taken a lot of criticism by elected officials for the amount of time, effort, tactics and equipment he has employed fighting the Border War. The Federal Government, including many elected officials at the federal level, continue to spread the lie that the border through the southwestern United States is secure, and all is well. The spin, the lies, the sophisticated use of imagery is to convince the public that the border is secure and citizens are safe. The truth is there remains a concerted effort to lie to the public about the invasion taking place along the border; from San Diego to Brownsville, Texas. The truth is transnational evil criminal cartels are going back and forth thru various border sectors at will. The truth is cartels are functioning in over 1,200 American cities. The truth is cartels have well-seasoned scouts working along cartel drug distribution pathways well into Arizona, as Pinal County Sheriff Babeu has just proven – again! The arrest of these eight cartel scouts was no small task. Dangerous and requiring very good tactics, the sheriff and his under-manned office just created a huge dent, for a time, in drug smuggling routes working their way from Mexico north 75-miles into Arizona.

·Lyle Rapacki, Protective Intelligence and Assessment Specialist: The Border Sheriffs in Arizona are NOT fighting criminal acts, although by Criminal Statute the Transnational Cartels are committing crimes; more appropriately, the Arizona Border Sheriffs are fighting an invasion, a war being waged on American sovereign soil. The weapons, communications systems, vehicles, etc. are sophisticated and very dangerous. A well-equipped and financed army is at work, and without the tireless and brave efforts of Arizona Border Sheriffs, and others in this fight, the desecration of our American way of life would be far more evident. Sheriff Babeu and the Deputies of the Pinal County, Arizona Sheriff’s Office should be heartily thanked by us all. My guess is after the arrests and transporting, these law enforcement officers simply returned to those duties that were set aside while they took care of some very dangerous and very pressing business. Well done! Thank you for continuing to Protect and Serve.

·Gubernatorial Candidate Frank Riggs: The only candidate with military and civilian law enforcement experience: military policeman, investigator and supervisor in the U.S. Army and as a police officer and deputy sheriff.Riggs strongly supports SB 1070 allowing a law enforcement officer to detain and arrest an individual when they have probable cause to believe the person is an illegal alien. As a Congressman, Riggs received an “A” from NumbersUSA, the two million membership grassroots immigration-reduction organization opposed to all amnesty measures.Riggs helped secure funding to build the double fence along the California/MX border, extending along the Yuma Sector into Arizona. Riggs wants to continue the fence along the Tucson Sector and deploy the manpower and technology necessary to secure that Sector. Compare the Riggs record to his opponents:

Doug Ducey didn’t serve in the military, never held legislative office, and has never cast a vote on immigration issues.Says he should be evaluated based on “your personal experience at Cold Stone Creamery.”

Christine Jones didn’t serve in the military, never held elective office, and never cast a vote on immigration issues.Says she was a “prosecutor” with the LA County DA’s Office while she was a law school student and volunteer law clerk. (All prosecutors have graduated law school, passed the bar exam and been sworn in as deputy district attorneys.)

Scott Smith an amnesty advocate, who, as the volunteer president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, issued a June 27, 2013 statement supporting a “pathway to citizenship” for the 11 million illegal immigrants residing in the U.S.Smith said his position was “consistent with the adopted policy of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.”

·CD9 Candidate Andrew Walter: In a press release on this day in 2009 by the Arizona State House Democrats, Kyrsten Sinema outlined her support for a single-payer healthcare system. According to her, the current disaster she "helped craft" didn't go far enough. Sinema outlined her support for the single-payer, VA-type system, in a letter she co-signed and presented to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Following the roll-out of this disastrous legislation that has hurt so many Arizonans, Kathleen Sebelius no longer holds her position as HHS Secretary. One down, one to go. Hard working Arizonans deserve patient-centered health care reform that will lower costs, and increase quality and choice. These reforms include policy portability, interstate insurance purchasing, tax reform, expanding high-risk pools, HSAs, block grant Medicaid funding, tort reform, among many more. We have great ideas that don't include a government takeover of your healthcare decisions, but I need you to join me to ensure Kyrsten Sinema joins Kathleen Sebelius as a former government employee.
